Apollophanes margareta
This small male Philodromus Apollophanes margareta has the longest legs I have seen yet on a crab spider. I thought at first it had to be a cellar
spider but one look at the body and eyes closely told the tale. Definitely a crab spider. I know the male Long-legged Sac Spider
(yellow sac spider) has much longer legs than the female so maybe this is the case with Philodromus. I wish I could have gotten
better photos but I had to stand on my tip toes to even get these shots. © Carol Davis, 3-18-2009
